Love Island series 12's Harrison Solomon has entered All Stars as a bombshell alongside series 11's Jessy Potts.

Harrison arrived in the villa with one mission, to crack on. He was even caught using the same pick up line on both Belle Hassan and Lucinda Strafford - and during his heart rate challenge he got a lot of snogs.

It was feared that his bombshell entrance might cause trouble in paradise for one of the villa's strongest couples, Samie Elishi and Ciaran Davies. This is because, just a couple of weeks after Harrison split from his Love Island sweetheart Lauren Wood, he was reportedly on a cosy date with Samie.

So, what happened actually between Harrison and Samie? Here's everything we know.

What happened between Love Island's Samie Elishi and Harrison Solomon?

Just two weeks after Love Island's Lauren and Harrison publicly announced they had split, Harrison was said to have been seen cosying up to series nine and All Stars contestant Samie at a bar in Dubai.

An onlooker claimed that the pair were "oblivious to other revellers" and looked "really into each other".

They added: "Now we know why Harrison gave poor Lauren the elbow so quickly. But her upset will be nothing compared to her devastation over knowing he’s moved on so quickly."

The source continued: "Harrison and Samie didn’t realise they’d been spotted on their secret date in Dubai. They didn’t take their eyes off each other.

"They looked like honeymooners, sipping drinks in the luxury venue. Harrison has not paused for breath since dumping Lauren. Now we know who he has clearly in his sights. I hope Samie knows what she’s doing."

However, Samie took to Snapchat after the story came out to insist nothing romantic occurred between them.

She said: "Just seen an article about me apparently dating someone I had a five minute NOT FLIRTY conversation with at an event I went to with all of my friends Sunday night."

"Gotta love the press, how boring," she added. "All you low lives believing the papers and sending me stupid messages can politely go and get a life."

Harrison and Samie didn't even address the reports when they were reunited in the villa. Unless they did speak about their history and it wasn't aired, Samie and Harrison steered clear of each other.

Despite not divulging anything about their shared history, Samie warned the girls that Harrison was a "menace".
